She listened to the lecture quietly, then said goodbye and left.
However, Umbridge's honesty disappeared again during the course on protecting magical creatures.
She began to repeatedly ask Professor Glapland about Hagrid's whereabouts. Professor Glapland, of course, wouldn't tell her.
So he directly said he didn't know. But Umbridge was very angry.
She then made Professor Glapland state that Dumbledore was not a good person, at least not a good headmaster.
After Professor Glapland said she admired Dumbledore, she made several more scribbles in her notebook.
Of course, she also asked Gladwell about Harry's condition, wanting her to say whether Harry had a mental illness.
But Grapple wasn't stupid either.
She said unhappily, "If you want to know if Potter has a mental problem, go ask him in the school clinic. I'm not responsible for these things."
Umbridge was enraged.
She glared at Professor Glapland, then told her to wait for the results within a day.
Then she went around asking the students in Professor Glapland’s course on protecting magical creatures how the course was.
Everyone else says it's pretty good.
Only Malfoy showed a wronged expression.
He said he was injured during a magical creature conservation class. Darren hadn't had a chance to say anything yet.
Harry angrily retorted, "That's because you didn't listen to Hagrid!"
"Very good, ban..."
Umbridge was about to tell Harry to go to detention. Then she saw Darren.
The two look at each other.
All that remains is... disgust.
Both Umbridge and Darren felt utterly disgusted. Umbridge, in particular, found that although she had punished Darren...
But for some reason, she felt dizzy, nauseous, and wanted to vomit whenever she saw Darren.
She suspected that Darren had cast some kind of dark magic on her. After all, Darren was definitely capable of doing so.
But she had no evidence, so she could only endure it.
"Humph!"
As Umbridge left for the castle, Hermione glared at Harry.
That afternoon.
Hermione made Harry and Ron do their homework.
For once, she didn't force them to write their own assignments, but instead allowed them to copy Darren's.
This gave Harry and Ron quite a chill.
However, they still managed to finish their homework quickly and efficiently.
After they finished their homework, Hermione finally revealed her true intentions. She pulled Darren and Harry aside.
Let them get closer to her.
She whispered, "We can't go on like this. We're about to take the ordinary wizard level exam."
We can't keep arguing with that old woman about whether or not we can use the wand!
Darren seemed to be deep in thought.
He remembered that in the original book, Hermione seemed to have Harry teach them magic around this time.
really.
Hermione said the next second, "We need a teacher... we need a teacher who can correct our dark magic..."
Harry hasn't figured it out yet.
He asked hesitantly, "Should we invite Lupin over? Or find Moody?"
"No, no, no, I meant you and Darren!"
Hermione said firmly. Darren fell silent. He was somewhat reluctant.
Because he was lazy, teaching others black magic was really... he just wanted to join in the fun and didn't want to be the initiator.
He needed to think of a way to decline. Of course, he didn't say anything. Because Harry had already spoken.
"You're kidding! You and Darren are both better at using magic than I am!"
"No, only Darren uses it better than you, Harry, haven't you noticed? In the realm of Dark Arts, you had already surpassed me by the time we were in our third year!"
Hermione said calmly. Harry looked at Darren.
He wanted Darren to say something against it. But he found Darren was lost in thought.
He then looked at Ron, wanting Ron to object. But Ron suddenly laughed.
He said softly, "This is actually a really great thing, after all, only you and Darren have faced the Mysterious Man head-on."
In first grade, you met him... Professor Quirrell face to face...
In his second year, Darren faced those Death Eaters... and you went to find the Basilisk and faced his projection again.
In third grade, you two faced so many Dementors... In fourth grade, you and...
Ron recounted every single thing with great enthusiasm. But the more Harry listened, the sadder he felt.
"That's enough, you two, please listen to me, okay? Please stop talking in that proud tone."
Darren and I risked our lives for this. Didn't you see him come back covered in wounds?
Didn't you see what kind of torture he suffered?
How can you say these things so casually, with such a smile on your face?
Harry was almost furious.
Ron and Hermione's faces froze.
Only Hermione persisted, saying, "It's precisely because these things are so painful that I hope you can..."
Hermione!
Darren interrupted Hermione.
He said in a low voice, "Let my brother teach! I don't really want to teach... I'm leaving now!"
He slung his backpack over his shoulder, turned, and left. Hermione stared blankly at his retreating figure. Harry remained silent as well.
As he left, he said, "Let him calm down, and let me calm down too."
For you, it might be about passing the regular wizarding level exams; for us, it's about reliving the pain of those times!
After being refused when she suggested that Darren and Harry teach everyone Dark Magic, Hermione didn't bring it up again for two whole weeks.
But when facing Darren, she became even more attentive. It seemed she was once again treating him like a fragile object.
This annoyed Darren a bit.
He felt he would rather teach others black magic than be seen as someone on the verge of collapse.
Because of Hermione's worries, many people are now unconsciously staring at him.
Even some professors started advising him to take a good rest.
They seemed to instinctively begin to suspect that Darren had encountered some painful situation again.
In the last week of September, Darren finally couldn't take it anymore.
He brought up this question while researching in the library.
“I’ve thought about this for a long time, and I think that Umbridge’s situation is not a good one.”
Hermione, you're right. We should all confront those wounds, so I agree to teach you if you don't mind that I'm too weak and want to learn from me.
Of course, I haven't been in a very good mental state this semester, so I can only spend a small amount of time on this. I think I'll have to trouble my brother with the other main teaching duties.
So, brother, is it okay?

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]
[Ding, Father's Value +100] Darren looked at Harry. Harry felt a little uneasy. He rubbed his hands together.
Clearly, he had considered this matter over the past two weeks.
"Since Darren agrees, then I'll... as long as you two don't mind that I'm too weak!"

Chapter 546 Darren is too weak?!
"What did you say to Darren? What do you mean by not looking down on you because you're too weak? Especially Darren, is he really weak?"
